Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to metallurgy generally and more specifically to improving battery current collectors and other components with recycled aluminum alloys.
- cathode current collectors In conventional lithium-ion batteries, aluminum is used as a cathode current collector.
- cathode current collectors comprise aluminum alloys containing relatively high amounts of or very pure aluminum.
- Anode current collectors in comparison, commonly comprise copper. These materials tend to be used because of their high electrical conductivity and electrochemical stability at the potentials encountered in their respective electrodes.
- the current collector may comprise from 50% to 100% recycled aluminum content, such as 50% recycled aluminum content, 51% recycled aluminum content, 52% recycled aluminum content, 53% recycled aluminum content, 54% recycled aluminum content, 55% recycled aluminum content, 56% recycled aluminum content, 57% recycled aluminum content, 58% recycled aluminum content, 59% recycled aluminum content, 60% recycled aluminum content, 61% recycled aluminum content, 62% recycled aluminum content, 63% recycled aluminum content, 64% recycled aluminum content, 65% recycled aluminum content, 66% recycled aluminum content, 67% recycled aluminum content, 68% recycled aluminum content, 69% recycled aluminum content, 70% recycled aluminum content, 71% recycled aluminum content, 72% recycled aluminum content, 73% recycled aluminum content, 74% recycled aluminum content, 75% recycled aluminum content, 76% recycled aluminum content, 77% recycled aluminum content, 78% recycled aluminum content, 79% recycled aluminum content, 80% recycled aluminum content, 81% recycled aluminum content, 82% recycled aluminum content, 83% recycled aluminum content, 84% recycled aluminum content, 85% recycled aluminum content,
- the current collector canhave a thicknessfrom O.005 mm to 0.5 mm, such as from 0.005 mm to 0.025 mm, from 0.025 mm to 0.05 mm, from 0.05 mm to 0.075 mm, from 0.075 mm to 0.1 mm, from 0.1 mm to 0.125 mm, from 0.125 mm to 0.15 mm, from 0.15 mm to 0.175 mm, from 0.175 mm to 0.2 mm, from 0.2 mm to 0.225 mm, from 0.225 mm to 0.25, from 0.25 mm to 0.275 mm, from 0.275 mm to 0.3 mm, from 0.3 mm to 0.325 mm, fromO.325 mm to 0.35 mm, from 0.35 mm to 0.375 mm, from 0.375 mm to 0.4 mm, from 0.4 mm to 0.425 mm, from 0.425 mm to 0.45 mm, from 0.45 mm to 0.475 mm, or from 0.475 mm to 0.5 mm

- a coating layer may be disposed over at least a portion of a surface of the current collector.
- the coating layer can comprise a carbonaceous material.
- the carbonaceous material can include a carbon black material or a Ketjenblack material.
- the electrical conductivity of the current collector can comprise from 30% IACS to 65% IACS, such as from 30% to 31% IACS, from 31% IACS to 32% IACS, from 33% IACS to 34% IACS, from 34% IACS to 35% IACS, from 35% IACS to 36% IACS, from 36% IACS to 37% IACS, from 37% IACS to 38% IACS, from 38% IACS to 39% IACS, from 40% IACS to 41% IACS, from 41% IACS to 42% IACS, from 42% IACS to 43% IACS, from 43% IACS to 44% IACS, from 44% IACS to 45% IACS, from 45% IACS to 46% IACS, from 46% IACS to 47% IACS, from 47% IACS to 48% IACS, from 48% IACS to 49% IACS, from 49% IACS to 50% IACS, from 50% IACS to 51% IACS, from 51% IACS to 52% IACS, from 52% IACS to 53% IACS, from 53% IACS to 5
- An example method of this aspect comprises providing a current collector that comprises a recycled content aluminum alloy; and subjecting a surface of the current collector to a coating process to generate a coating layer over at least a portion of the surface of the current collector.
- the method further comprises subjecting the current collector or the coating layer to a further coating process to form a conductive layer.
- the conductive layer can comprise one or more of a carbonaceous material or a binder.
- the coating process can comprise an immersion coating process or a roll-to-roll coating process.
- the coating process can comprise plasma-assisted physical vapor deposition, plasma-activated physical vacuum deposition, plasma spray physical vapor deposition, vacuum plasma spraying, metal gun-spray deposition, plasma spraying, plasma transferred wire arc spraying, cold spraying, electro-chemical deposition, chemical deposition, sputtering, dip coating, or any combination thereof.
- Current collectors made by the methods of this aspect may include any of the current collectors described herein.
- FIG. 1 provides a schematic overview of an example method for making a recycled content aluminum alloy product.
- FIG. 2 provides a schematic cross-sectional illustration of an example current collector comprising a recycled content aluminum alloy and a coating layer.
- FIG. 3 provides a schematic cross-section illustrations of an example current collector comprising a recycled content aluminum alloy in a lithium-ion battery.
- Described herein are battery components such as current collectors that include recycled content aluminum alloys, optionally with a coating layer disposed over at least a portion of a surface of the current collector.
- the recycled content aluminum alloys used in methods and products described herein include 2xxx series aluminum alloys, 3xxx series aluminum alloys, 3xxx series aluminum alloys, 4xxx series aluminum alloys, 5xxx series aluminum alloys, 6xxx series aluminum alloys, or 7xxx series aluminum alloys.
- relatively pure aluminum alloys such as Ixxx series aluminum alloys or 8xxx series aluminum alloys are commonly used as a current collector on the cathode side. But using current collectors made from recycled content aluminum alloys may be more sustainable than using relatively pure aluminum alloys. In some examples, depending on the non-aluminum materials present in the recycled content aluminum alloys, current collectors made from recycled content aluminum alloys may have increased stability, conductivity, and longevity. In other examples, characteristics such as stability and conductivity may decrease with the use of recycled content aluminum alloys in current collectors.
- recycled content aluminum alloys may have an electrical conductivity that is from 30% to 50% of the electrical conductivity of a relatively pure aluminum alloy, such as an aluminum alloy with 99.99% Al or more.
- the use of recycled content aluminum alloys that, in some cases may lower electrical conductivity, can go against conventional teaching where high electrical conductivity is desired, by providing increased sustainability of aluminum products.
- a coating layer can be disposed over the current collector to protect the non-aluminum elements within the recycled content aluminum alloy from cominginto contact with lithium in a lithium-ion battery. The coating layer may prevent or limit corrosion and degradation of the current collector, and may increase the stability and conductivity of the current collector.
